Chapter 056 If You Can Do It, Go For It
The old lady's room was full of people.
At the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Old Master Gu Zhao, Old Madam Zhou, Gu Changqing, Miss Lin and Gu Ziyun were all there, and the matchmaker was standing next to them.
At the Shangshu Mansion, there were Chen Huailiang, his wife Xu, and Chen Xinlian.
The atmosphere in the room was very good. Everyone sat together and talked and laughed happily. It was not until Su Jin walked in that the room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone stared at Su Jin, but she saluted very generously: "Father, Mother."
"Yeah!" Zou is quite satisfied with Su Jin now.
This daughter-in-law proposed to support the emperor's frugal national policy, which made the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion receive commendation from the new emperor. Now no one dared to say that the Yong'an Marquis had no say in front of the emperor. Although he was an old marquis in his fifties, he was now valued by the new emperor again. No matter how you look at it, this was all thanks to his daughter-in-law.
In addition, the backyard has been very quiet recently, and the usual fighting and noise have completely quieted down because of Su Jin's calmness. Zou Shi once again feels what it means to have peace and quiet, and it feels so good.
"The lady is here, please sit down!"
Lin Wanhui felt even more uncomfortable because the old lady liked Su Jin.
And since the old lady has spoken, the seat next to Gu Changqing will not be hers, but Su Jin's.
She twisted her handkerchief and stared at Su Jin sitting next to Gu Changqing, then reluctantly looked away.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's follow the process!"
The old lady spoke, and the matchmaker wanted to stand up to take over, but Xu spoke first.
She looked at Su Jin and said, "Madam, although your son was not chosen, our two families are still relatives now. I heard that you are petty and vindictive, but marriage is good for both families. I hope that you, as the mistress, will not take the opportunity to tamper with the marriage."
Lin Wanhui almost died of laughter.
Su Jin's reputation is indeed bad, and this is something everyone knows.
She was narrow-minded, jealous, and would complain about every little thing. But now that the Shangshu's wife had said it herself, Lin Wanhui felt extremely happy.
Look, Su Jin is just such a person who is not presentable.
Xu did not give them face and scolded their daughter-in-law in front of the Yong'an Marquis and his wife. As the marquis was high and mighty, they naturally felt unhappy, but what the other person said was not wrong, which made the two old people feel even worse.
Now you are their in-laws, and you are stepping on their faces and being picky about the Marquis's Mansion!
When it was awkward, Su Jin smiled and said calmly, "I am petty and vindictive, but if no one is looking for trouble with me or making me angry, I will naturally not go to the trouble of looking for trouble with others. I am not being a jerk, don't you think so, relative?"
Xu shook her face, and there was a hint of depression between her brows. What was he talking about? Was she, Xu, being a masochist?
Su Jin's words were ambiguous, not only scolding Xu, but also scolding Lin Wanhui. Both of them looked unhappy and rolled their eyes at Su Jin repeatedly.
Su Jin pretended not to see it, and even said with a smile: "I think Xinlian and Yun Ge'er are a good match. The formalities have been completed today. When is the right time to set the wedding date?"
Hearing this, even Zou couldn't help but look at Su Jin.
This marriage was originally intended for Xuan'er, but Xuan was incompetent and the Shangshu Mansion didn't want him, so Yun'er was chosen instead. I thought Su Jin would insist on it given his temper, but who would have thought it would be let go so easily?
Isn't this angry at all?
Or is she planning something else?
Lin Wanhui suddenly became nervous.
Xu looked at Chen Huailiang. Mr. Chen was stroking his beard, his eyes fixed on Gu Ziyun.
I heard that the eldest lady's family had hired a great scholar, and Miss Lin also promised that Yun Ge'er would definitely be able to become the scholar's disciple. In this case, Yun Ge'er's future would definitely be secure. Maybe the next top scholar would be Yun Ge'er's.
The more Chen Huailiang thought about it, the more possible it seemed to him. After all, that man was Mr. Zhuzhi, a man of great reputation and influence even among the old ministers.
Thinking of this, he slowly spoke: "Brother Yun is sixteen, and our Xinlian is only fourteen. There is no rush for the wedding date, but there are three major happy events in life: the wedding night, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and passing the imperial examination. So we will have a good thing in pairs, and when Brother Yun passes the imperial examination, we will get married."
Tsk tsk, he is worthy of being a minister. He is so calculating. He insists on waiting until Gu Ziyun passes the senior high school entrance examination before getting married?
But she remembered that Gu Ziyun seemed to have been admitted to high school. Although he was not the top scorer, he was also good, ranking among the top three, and his ranking was very high. On the night of the announcement of the results, he married Chen Xinlian, which was unfair to Xuan Ge'er. His ex-fiancé became a laughing stock to everyone in the capital.
Gu Zixuan was a playboy. After this incident, he became even less motivated and was completely hopeless. Just as Lin Wanhui wished, he was completely abandoned by Gu Changqing.
Thinking of this, Su Jin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled.
Unfortunately, after she came, Gu Zixuan suddenly became more motivated and even took the initiative to ask her to invite a powerful and strict teacher. As for the future, it will probably not be the same as before.
"Well, then let's do as my in-laws say."
Su Jin is very much looking forward to the future.
Seeing that the mistress nodded smoothly all the way without any trouble, Chen Huailiang's family was a little surprised.
After all, there were some unpleasant things happening with Brother Xuan a few days ago, but it seemed that the lady didn't hold a grudge against her because of it.
The three members of the family looked at each other and felt that Su Jin was not the same as the legend said. He didn't seem that powerful. Instead, he was quite easy to talk to, which meant he was easy to bully.
So Xu raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Madam, since we are relatives, I will say something sympathetic. It is time to take good care of your Xuan brother. He is ignorant and incompetent. Even my daughter looks down on him. He will only bring shame to the Marquisate in the future. If he were my son, humph, I would beat him to pieces so that he would not drag down the Marquisate in the future. If he makes a big mistake, wouldn't it be the end of everything?"
Su Jin was smiling the whole time, but the expressions of the other people in Yong'an Marquis Mansion kept changing.
Gu Changqing is only of the fifth rank, and his official position is below Chen Huailiang, but Old Master Gu Zhaogu is a real title. The wife of a mere third-rank minister is actually educating his daughter-in-law. Who do you think you are?
The Marquis was ashamed, but Lin Wanhui was almost laughing to death. She felt that today was the happiest day she had in recent times. It was so wonderful!
Xu, you are truly the best relative in the world!
Xu was still talking: "Madam, you can tie up Xuan first, make him kneel in the ancestral hall, and then starve him for three days and three nights. If you can humiliate him severely..."
"Madam Shangshu."
Su Jin interrupted calmly, looking at Xu calmly, and said word by word: "How about I give Xuan brother to Madam to raise him? Oh, and then change his surname to Chen, and then see if Madam's stick and humiliation can also raise a top scholar who can pass the imperial examination."
You are so good at talking, if you can do it, then go for it!
